THE COUNTRY’S IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS: GSA chief resigns following excessive spending claims. “The head of the General Services Administration resigned from her post Monday, and two other officials were fired amid an investigation into excessive spending at a 2010 training conference that featured a clown, a comedian and mindreader, Federal News Radio reports. Martha Johnson, the GSA administrator, submitted her resignation on Monday, citing a “significant mis-step” at the agency to the tune of more than $800,000.”

Remember when Obama was condemning corporate trips to Las Vegas?
